I'm a sucker for a rippin' Sally Goodin

The first album of Bill Monroe I bought was a masters collection and the first song was Blue Moon of Kentucky.. from there I was hooked

I love when Del and the boys play Eli Renfro

There is nothing like an amazing fiddler playing Jerusalem Ridge.

Hartford: I've Heard That Tearstained Monologue You Do There By The Door Before You Go and Take a look at the old man in the bath tub ( from steam powered areotakes)

Quicksburg Rendezvous

And a thousand more.

Hard to choose.  If I had to pick an absolute favorite, it'd probably be Rocky Top.  Coocoo's Nest and Blackberry Blossom are both up there as they are very fun to play along with.  Everything off of Hartford's Aereo-plain album.  I gotta say, I'm also partial to Super Freak!!!

I love Overgrown Waltz.  What an amazing song.

Too many to list but some are:

Steam Powered Aeroplane
Big Country
Sunset Road (can listen to this over and over and over). In fact I do.
Another Morning  - duet with Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas
Bringing in the Georgia Mail - on Sam's Laps in Seven
Where There is a Road  - on Sam's Laps in Seven

 Listening to: Cadillac Sky

[livluvgrow]

Just to name a few in a million saw Ralph Stanley in February and some from that show

Rank Stranger
Little Maggie

Drew Emmitt       Meet Me In The Mornin'

Thank Dave! 

I think we'll get more gems like Overgrown Waltz from the Washburn/Fleck/Driessen/Sollee team, but I have to say, if I didn't already, that I think it's the most beautiful piece of music Fleck has ever written. That's saying alot since there's only a couple of things he's written that I would consider "good" or "average" (and no I won't name those tunes).

 Listening to: The tourist coming back from the bars. Now it really starts to get fun around here!

[david blair]

Ok, I like "Little Maggie" I think Ralph or Carter Stanley wrote it.
I also agree that "Sally Goodin" is a great fiddle tune. I think is was Mountain Heart who played an amazing version at Telluride once. Anybody remember?
From Drew I like "Midnight Blues".
From Hartford I like "Steamboat Whistle Blues".
From Doc and Bill "Rabbit in a Log"
Colleen Malone, Nellie Kane from Tim.

RAWHIDE!
